Kevin de Bruyne swings a cross in which Flynn Downes puts over under pressure from Josko Gvardiol. There's a VAR check for a City penalty, but it's not given.

Great atmosphere at Portman Road, with the visiting Brentford fans making plenty of noise and the home fans appreciating the early energy on show from Kieran McKenna's team.

Ipswich stopper Alex Palmer grabs a dangerous-looking cross from Keane Lewis-Potter relatively comfortably in the end.

Wolves cut through Brighton and Goncalo Guedes sees his shot blocked. Good spell for the oranges.

It is a practice match for Man City already. They're working out their options. Southampton are back in numbers, but they're not putting any pressure on the ball.

Good chance for Wolves as Matheus Cunha clips in a nice free-kick which Goncalo Guedes watches come over his shoulder before flicking the ball over unmarked about 10 yards out.

Ruben Dias pings a ball into the box but fellow City defender Josko Gvardiol's header is at Aaron Ramsdale.

As Everton continue to get blocks in, Harry Wilson unleashes a powerful drive from the edge which Jordan Pickford manages to deal with. All Fulham in these early stages.

This could be a long afternoon for Southampton.

Patient passing from City but Rico Lewis' cross is poor then and doesn't find James McAtee.

Mark Flekken is the first goalkeeper called into action at Portman Road.

Liam Delap gets up well to meet Omari Hutchinson's cross from the right but Flekken pounces to his left to make the save. Positive start by the hosts.

It's the hosts who take charge of possession from kick-off and Fulham don't hang around, quickly putting pressure on the Everton box - but the Toffees defence survives a first examination.

Joao Gomes seems OK.

Southampton are sat in a 5-4-1 formation and nobody has got tight to the ball yet. They have allowed Manchester City to play.

Good catch from Aaron Ramsdale, who tries to set Saints away on a quick counter but Kamaldeen Sulemana can't get past Mateo Kovacic.

Treatment needed for Wolves' Joao Gomes.

Kevin de Bruyne's cross is headed behind and City have a corner already.

Brighton's Tariq Lamptey goes on an early jinking run but eventually gives the ball away.

And away we go!

One of the main talking points with what Pep Guardiola was looking for was more consistency.

Josko Gvardiol going into central defence has made a difference. His awareness as a centre half is very good.

He has been excellent and he sees the danger.

The question for Southampton, as always, is can they pick up a result to overtake that Derby record?

The Saints are on 11 points, which is the joint record low in a Premier League season with the Rams.

Their final three games are against Manchester City today, Everton's final game at Goodison Park and Arsenal.

Simon Rusk, in his second spell as interim boss this season, said he wants to "finish the season on a high and build momentum":

He added it's a chance to end the season with as much dignity as possible".
